Went there at 8:30 morning (open at 9) waited in line 2 hours and the next afternoon got my passport back with my new visa. Thanks for all your good advices Tod and others.

I cannot fathom why they would ask for a residency certificate for a retirement visa issued outside Thailand since conceivably you might have never even been to Thailand.

Also, what does retiring have to do with renting an apartment long term? Do they think that retirement = stay in one place and wait to die?

Most retirement visas require a long term lease.
